Water had accumulated from HVAC drain pain all the way back into the blower motor behind the glove box. The infamous grommet that normally causes backup had already been removed, so the cause is unclear. We agreed to drill into the lowest part of the pan and run a 16" 1/3" hose to the transmission tunnel, where another hole was drilled, and the line was sealed in. Works like a charm. Engine was throwing P0300 codes intermittently. During a triage drive, cyl 1 was the culprit. We changed all 8 plugs, and hoped. All was good until highway speeds when various cyl were reporting "hiccups" but not throwing misfire codes. Turns out, a radial belt on a faulty rear tire had slipped, causing a minor vibration at the right frequency to start triggering the individual cyl knock sensors. Tire replaced, car purrs. |
